Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 °F.
Grease a 9x13 extra deep casserole dish (~3 inches).
Meat
In a pan over medium-high heat, heat olive oil.
Add you meat and seasonings. Mix well.
Cook until done, approximately 8-10 minutes.
Spinach-Ricotta Filling
In a pan over medium-high heat, melt butter.
Add flour and mix well. This should be thick. Cook until slightly browned
Add onion and garlic. Mix.
Add remaining ingredients and mix until smooth and completely incorporated.
Sauce
In a pan over medium-high heat, melt butter.
Add garlic and cook until fragrant.
Add remaining ingredients and cook until sauce thickens.
Assembly
If you do not have oven ready lasagna noodles (it would say on the box), cook and drain them now.
In the bottom of your greased pan, spoon 1/2 of the sauce on the bottom and sprinkle 1/3 of the meat on top.
Add a layer of noodles. I cut mine in order to fully cover the dish.
Spread 1/2 the spinach ricotta filling and 1/3 of the meat over the lasagna noodles.
Add another layer of noodles.
Spread remaining spinach ricotta filling and meat over the lasagna noodles.
Add remaining noodles or enough to cover the filling.
Spread remaining sauce on top.
Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan on top.
It is all cooked, so bake to desired cheese crispiness. I baked mine for 30 minutes.
Notes
*These need to be cooked and drained if not using oven ready noodles. Either work.
